John T. Lewis, Co. G., LIST NJ J., Atlantic City,
| n. j., correcting "Cui Bono" says that Gen.
| Kearny assumed command Of Heintzelman's Di-
vision in April, 1862, Just before its departure
| to engage in the Pennsular campaign. Gen.
| Kearny's first command was the First New
| Jersey Brigade, in August, 1861, which he re-
| tanned until April 1852. The brigade was
composed Of the LIST, 2d, Sd and 4th N. J.. The
18th and 23d n. j. joined it in September, 1862.
VIM. Stahl, Ithaca, Mich, referring to the
statement of C0mrade Harris that the ODD
/ Pa. was IN p battles, says that he heard Gen.
"Bill Gibson say that the 49th Ohio partici-
| pated in IS different engagements, and every
| body knows that "BiIl" Gibson never tells a
| lie.
Robert Smith, Hawley, Mimi. would like to
receive from some eOmrade the words of the
song, Marching Through Georgia" He would
| be glad if some Of the Twenty-third Corps
would write an account Of what they saw at
| Wilmington, N. O., in the Spring of 1866, on
/ the arrival Of the Union soldiers who had Just
been released from rebel prisons.
| G. L. Gilbert, Co p, Goth Conn, New Haven,
Conn.,, says Comrade Carver. 55th Ohio, was
certainly mistaken when he said that at no
| time did the Goth Conn. belong 10 the Third
/ Brigade, Third Division, Twentieth Corps. He
says the regiment did belong to that brigade.
/ and was in the front at Peach Tree Creek. The
brigade was composed Of the goth Conn.,, 26th
Wis, 33d Mass, 55th and I'D Ohio and l36th
Ny.
H. C. sehoaeld. Co. F. 179th N. Y. Box 100.
| Dundee, N. Y, gives an account of the execu-
tion of the men near Hancock Station, Va,
as described by several correspondents. He
says there were two hung for desertiOn, and
they belonged to the 1SOth N. Y. They were
on yidet duty and deserted their post.
John Hogan, Sergeant Co. ID, 33d Ohio,
Portsmouth, o.. says the First Brigade, First
| Division, Fourteenth Corps. originally consisted
of the % and Sd Ohio, 10th Wis. and 3Sth Ind.
| Later, the 9th Ohio, SSth Ind. 2lst Wis. 10Th
III. and 18th KY were added to it. On the
Atlanta campaign IL was commanded by Gen.
Hobart, formerly Colonel Of the DIST Wis. Gen.
| Carlin commanded the division, and not that
brigade. The writer does not think that the
18th Pa. was ever in the brigade
E. y. Henderson. Eagle Bend Minn won
ders If all the members Of the 5th ". Y. III. A.
are dead. If not he would like to hear from
any Of them, especially members Of Co. F, by
mail or through The NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
Harry q. Burns, Co. III, 18th Pa. Cav, Pitts
burg, Pa, says that his regiment with others
received accessiOns of drafted men and substi-
tutes. He speaks a good word for them, and
says that many Of them were Just as brave and
faithful in the discharge of their duties as any
Of the volunteers. He thinks they should
stand on an equal footing with the volunteers
William Sheppard, Co. ID, 42d Ind. Boon
vile, Ind, would like 10 hear from members Of
the First Brigade, First Division Fourteenth
Corps. He never hears anything about it, and
he sometimes wonders if there was such a bri-
gade, and if it did any fighting.
III. w. Brandle. 81 Mo-, Cummings. H., says
he belonged TO the division Of Osterhaus, that
never was driven from a position. He thinks
the Union army in the West killed and capt
ured more men than Lee had in his entire
army.
@. L. Patton, Co. B, 18th Ind, or 9Th Ind Cav.
says he has never seen anything in regard Il
his regiment, and he thinks it worthy of men
ton. 1t was mustered into the service Aug
%. 1861, and was Immediately sent into thG
field for active service, participating in all the
campaigns Of the Army OF the Cumberland, anC
marching to the sea with Sherman.
/ Silas L. Sherman, Co. III, 18th Wis, Jessup
Neb, thinks it would be a good plan if per
manent record could be made Of the names anG
addresses Of surviving soldiers.
